Description:
Elora is a cultivated Londoner visiting her brother in Oslo, Norway. With her brother away on business, she decides to do without his permission and borrow his classic Jaguar to take in the sights. But when she pulls over to the side of the road to take pictures, the car won’t start up again. In a blind panic, Elora has nowhere to turn, until a warrior of a man stops to help her. A massive, handsome hunk of a man, clad head to toe in black leather.
Elora has never encountered anyone like Mikkel. As much as he frightens her, she realizes she is out of options. Then comes the exhilarating journey home on his custom ride, and Elora falls hard for her knight in leather armor, an alpha male eager to teach her the rules of Dom/sub relationships. Mikkel is head of his motorcycle club, and in the days that follow, Elora becomes increasingly entangled in the culture of bondage, bikes, and club rivalries. But how can Elora fully commit to a man whose world might as well exist on another planet?

Great Norwegian feel! Romantic cross between “Lilyhammer”, “Sons of Anarchy”, and “Fifty Shades of Grey”. Must read for all Christine Edwards fans! |

Scenery is beautiful and wonderfully described. Jarring note on all white BDSM wall. Very unusual and unique. Little hard to picture though. |

“This is foreplay on a case of Red Bull.” Quote says it all. BDSM play where sub holds all the power. |

Mikkel is a very hot, alpha master while Elora is the sweet sub swept up in his spell. Love all the blond Viking MC members. The uptight British brother is fun, and would be even better if he had more time to be annoyingly repressed. The ex-girlfriend is clichéd, and needs to be sent to summer school to work on her evil manipulation skills. |

Fairly standard plot elements. Enjoyable read with easily resolved drama. This is the book you pull out to enjoy with your bubble bath and glass of wine. |
Summary
“Nordic
Lessons” had me feeling a little left behind because I hadn't
read “Naughty
in Norway” first. The characters were all properly introduced,
and “Nordic Lessons” is a labeled accurately as a stand alone
book. I simply felt like I would love some of the characters more
than I did if I had read “Naughty
in Norway” first. I also have to admit a small prejudice in
favor of my MC's being outlaw instead of law abiding. That's a result
of waaayyy too many hours watching “Sons
of Anarchy”.
Overall “Nordic Lessons” is an enjoyable read consistent with Christine Edward's other books. “Captured in Croatia” is still my favorite, but hot, Norwegian bikers are coming in a close second.
